Grebes

Grebes are a family of swimming and diving, small- to medium-sized, water birds. They are characterised by their pointed bills. You need to be quick if taking a photo or trying to ID one as they are usually only on the surface for a short time. A lot of people mistake them for diving ducks as they have similar behaviour. Fun fact: grebes have ‘lobed’ toes, not webbed feet.
